Why is it a problem that IT was not prepared for so many concurrent players? Yes, it has multiplayer, but it's mostly a single-player game. Did they pull a Diablo?
They didn't pull a Diablo because you don't have to wait in a login queue to play single player.
A lot of people are playing with their friends, not just alone
Is it not p2p and should barely matter?
Yeah players can drop in and out of games pretty fast plus there's stuff like user authentication
And save games can be synced to the larian account. So you can continue your game on PS5... If you brought the game twice.
